#5, Apple writes applications for Windows XP and then does a half-assed port to Windows Vista - w/o much modification, or Q&A.
It appears, that in Apple's mind, if their apps break on Vista, all the better - they can continue to add to that which is presenting that Vista is flawed and beyond hope or recovery.
Apple absolutely cannot have Vista succeed and present itself alongside OS X - where OS X would appear less compelling visually and certainly, functionally.
In my opinion, Apple does this intentionally - which is really, really stupid, I might add - as the inertia will change and like most companies that square off with Microsoft, Apple will beat itself, again!
